Gallons OF Hood.

Those who are ANXIOUS to sec the
crimson flood spoken of in the story
books should go to the shambles al
any time during the day between the
hours of a. NJ, and i NJ. says
New York Sun writer Each animal
beeds from one half to two gallons,
and this sangunary current flows
steadily all day and pours down
through an iron shoot in the asphalt
flooring into the iron cradle cu heels
placed there to receive il. The con.
tents of these cradles is poured into an
iron vat, where it is boiled to a thick
dough-like consistency. From the VA
it is placed in bags and pressed in
huge machine, from which il issues In
the shape of big cakes two inches thick
These cakes are then thrown into =
machine which dries and grinds
them so that substance as fine
as coffee is thrown out of the ma.
chine. 1t is then put in bags and sold
for fertilizing purposes.
Blood prepared in this manner is OF
great value as a manure, and brings
from $40 to $50 ton. After the
bullock is dead. he is hoisted up clear
OF the floor, and his jacket is taken off.
His heart and liver are removed, and
he is cut into two pieces down the
back. The loose flesh around the neck
is carefully skewered up, and he is
ready for the market. In the mean
time the other portions of his body,
which are not marketable as food, with
the exception of his hoofs, are tried out
and the fat separated. The residuum is
dried and ground. A fertilizer is made
from this remainder, which brings $50
a ton.
The horns are sold and made into
knife handles and buttons, and the
hoofs are sent TO the late Peter CoOper's
glue factory. The skulls, after every
particle Of meat has been removed,
are ground into bono dust. The hides
are sailed down for week or ten days.
and then disposed of to leather manu-
facturers. Every night at 6 o'clock
the place is treated to bath, and when
the workmen are through squirting
portion Of the North river around the
floor, the establishment is clean and
sweet as a kitchen floor in we'll reg
ulated house.

The Anarchists.

Probably every reader of the Herald,
already knows of the decision of Gov.
Ogelsby to commute the sentence OF
Fielden aud Schawb to life imprison-
ment and to let the law take its course
with the other four. The tragic death
of Louis Lingg by the explosion Of a
dynamite cap in his mouth two days be-
fore the execution has also been tele-
graphed far and near. Every effort
was made at che last moment to obtain
reprieve for the four condemned men,
Spies, Fischer, Eugel and Parsons, but
without success Executive clemency
had gone as far as it could, and the SEN
tence was carried out at 1855 Friday
Nov. H. 1t is not our purpose to re-
view the particulars of the execution
and give the minute details of the last
moments OF the doomed men.
Their bodies were give 10 their friends
and their burial took place Sunday, the
procession forming in one long line as il
passed from one house 10 another.
The interment took place at Waldheim
and was conducted quietly Some in
flammatory speeches wero made, but
nothing of importance occurred. Nc
definite plan has been decided upon
for giving financial help to the bereaved
families.

Last Days Of Marie AntoInette.

When she was removed TO the Con-
ciergerie prison Lord Ronald Covers
"my queen" Edmund Burke's cynO-
sure Of beauty and grace, had two
dresses. a black and a white one, which
she wore on alternate days. She had
three chemises, fine enough in texture
and trimmed with lace, but dropping
into rags from oyeruse. Meanwhile,
a blessed creature called Bault was al
most necessarily occupied in mending
the linen, the shoes, and the stockings
of the captive. This girl Bault-rest
her soul!-was the daughter Of the
concierge Of the prison and pitied with
infinite compassion that most miser-
able woman in the dungeon--dis-
crowned, disgraced, patched, and
dirty. The girl Bault preserved the
queens tatters, which we're begged
from the prisoners, piece by piece, by
furtive royalists. The ruilian iailers
had torn from her the gold watch and
the two diamond rings which she had
brought with her to the jail; but they
allowed her to keep her wedding-ring,
and she contrived TO secrete in her
bosom miniature of the dauphin in a
little bag made from n canary-kid
glove which the child had worn. She
had also kept a corking-pin, and with
this she scratched on the whitewashed
walls of her cell, side by side with
scriptural texts. minute little schedules
Of the items In her daily diminishing
wardrobe. These were the last OF

He, who can exact the necessary in

There is great need of system in all

weeks of every school year are spent,

work will not progress well until a
good plan is laid. That pupil who car
ries out this plan, no matter what its
demands may be, is the one whose work
will be pronounced a success, next June.
An intermediate pupil not long since
when asked how alcohol is thrown out
of the system, answered something like
the following: 1.-The particles of alcohol
being waste matter must get out of the
body, and they go along and squeeze

get just under the skin they explode"

CouIdn.t Escape Them.

A Wayne county farmer, who had q
little time to spare during the drought,
went at it and created seven artificial
mounds to resemble graves in a field
close to the road. Signboards were put
up and labeled: Tramp No /, TRAMP
No. 2, aud so on through, and when
the work was finished the granger went
up to the house with a grin on his face
and said TO his wife:
That ere dodge will beat all the laws
in Michigan TO keep tramps away"
Breakfast was not yet over next morn
ing when there was a knock on the
kitchen door. and the farmer opened II
to find five gaunt tramps standing 10 8
half-circle.
You herer' he yelled, as soon as he
could credit his senses. ''Didn't you see
those graves down the roadT'
I'VE did, sir" answered the Oldest

stopped We wanted to know If they
came TO their death by over-eating. -

The Treasury Deficiency.

The present County Board ought
definitely to settle with the County
Treasurer the loss occasioned by the
failure of Hodges bank. The question
is not one of defalcation; neither is it
one of Misrepresentation of funds; it is
simply question of who can best stand
a loss caused purely by misfortune, the
county or the treasurer
The misfortune came IN this way:
The county has no place to keep its
funds, consequently all the County
Treasurers have had to deposit the
funds in tho banks. The treasurers of
the towns near Platteville, instead OF
bringing their funds to Lancaster and
delivering them personally to the
treasurer. had for years been in the
habit of deposlting their funds in the
bank at Platteville and sending the
Certificate of deposit to the County
Treasurer. That is how the funds lost
came to be in Hodges bank. They were
not put there by Mcmahon, but simply
loft there by him until such time as he
should need them. He had to deposit
them somewhere, and the great mas:
OF deposits lost by Hodges failure
shows that the community had conf
dence in the Safety of his bank. But
he failed and the loss followed.
Now who shall lose it? Isl just that
the treasurer should. Can the great
F; county of Grant afford to be less liberia
/. than Iowa county. or the city of Platte
vile?
Iowa county had burglar-prooi
vault and fire and burglar-proof chest
for the safe keeping of its funds, but
the treasurer did what his predecessor:
had done--deposited his funds in the
| local banks, because, he said, his $1,000
salary would not enable him to hire {
Waterman to stay in his office nights
Henry's bank at Mineral Point failed
and Iowa county relieved him of the
entire loss at its first meeting.
The city of Platteville sued and got
Judgment against the Town Treasurer
aud his bondsmen for loss in Hodge
bank. and then at city election called
for the purpose relieved the parties
from the whole judgment.
Can Grant county afford to be less
liberal? No! he voters Of Grant
county to-day would do just as the
voters of the city of Platievillo did
| vote to relieve the treasurer by fifty to
one
But we have heard it said that the
reason Platteville relieved those parties
was because the city had already raised
by tax the deficiency, and, it is SAID, it
is easier for community to be liberal
when they don't have to put their hands
IN their pockets. Well, Grant county
has done just the same thing. The tax
payers paid the amount in full three
years ago, and the majority of them
never knew the difference. 1t amount
ed to only fve-tenths of mill
on a dollar. But what was not
felt by the taxpayers would be heavy
burden to one man, and one at that
VINO was no more to blame for the loss
than any other tax payer If the
County Board relieves Mcmahon, there
viii still be nearly eight hundred dol
lars in the treasury, and no deficiency
/ e make up.
